April 2, 2009......A Powder Day extrordinaire

They said it was only 7" of new, but it hasn't stopped snowing for some time. This was one of the best days of March/April, because it was deep and there was no reef, no hard bumps underneath. Yes, it get's skied out in places and sort of crunches a bit, but in the uncut it was good. And it's April 2 and it's still snowing. No good face shots today, but still, really good base and it was filling in all day. Beauty...

Both Fiorini's, Dan and Ken, whom I haven't really skied with all year, Sabella, whom I haven't skied with either. His son Toffer and girl friend/ ripper/beauty who's name escapes me. Good posse , but on a powder day, it's hard to stick together.

One run in Northback with Ken, Dan and I. Apres a sumptuous lunch@ the top, we headed out there and took the sneak around the far peak to the "far run". We stopped to find some missing equipment, and just standing in the deep, on the side of the hill, looking at the beauty of the place and the calm that is a powder day was the most enjoyment i had all day. Well, maybe the hundreds of good powder turns were pretty good too.
Why is that sensation of play and motion so wonderful, so desireable, so calming and peaceful? I'm going to continue my research on the topic. It's good work.
